Summary

This final chapter returns to the Think Tank Manifesto outlined in Chapter 1 to reflect on the three pairs of theory and case study documented in Chapters 2 to 7, with the seven claims of the opening manifesto linked to specific examples in the book. Themes of curiosity, inclusion, and resistance are taken up in order to summarize the process of coauthorship and frame a way forward for research and learning in leadership in early childhood education. Derrida’s concept of the “Gift” and its dangers are used to maintain an argument for plurality in theory and method in leadership studies, and to resist foreclosure on the “right” way to be a leader in early childhood education.
